CX13 — Helix Centraliser

Patented Helix mechanism covering 7” to 13-5/8” casing — log multiple casing sizes in a single run, gravity descent to 80°.

CX13

Description

The CX13 HELIX centraliser is the latest addition to the FOCUS™ range of precision centralisers. With Petromac’s patented “Helix” mechanism and powerful compound leaf springs, the CX13 ensures precise centralization of heavy tool-strings in high deviation wells.

Unlike conventional centralizers, the CX13 passes easily through restrictions and facilitates smooth gravity descent in high deviation wells.

Designed for casing sizes from 7” up to 13-⅝”, the Helix centraliser enables data acquisition in multiple casings a single run, saving valuable rig time.

Applications

  • Precise centralisation of wireline logging tools in casings from 7” to 13-⅝”
  • Log multiple casing sizes in a single run.
  • Gravity descent in wells up to 80 deg
  • Passes seamlessly through restrictions
  • Stick-slip elimination
